A Thumping Big Baby
Boston Record.

Tom Corwin used to tell in his inimitable way
story about Mr.. Jones, who was running for
Congress in an Ohio district, and who, while fill
ing his round of appointments, made speech, at
the close of which, by way of commencing him
self to the "bone and sinew," the Irregular sover-
eigns" of the country, he said that he was self
made man of "obscure birth and humble origin !"
that, in fact, he was sprung from "the very dregs
of the people," "Why, felIow-ctizens," said he,
warming up and elevating his voice, "my parents
were so poor that when was eighteen years old
my mother had to tie me to the bed-post to keep
me from falling into the fire whenever she went to
the spring for pail of water" Of course he in
tended to say eighteen months, and Mr.. Corwin,
who was present, cried out; go, Jones, what an
awful big baby you must have been !" The crowd
saw the point of the joke, and Jones broke down
at once amid their jeers.

@-The State Prohibition convention, held at
the temperance camp-meeting at GlyndOn, on
Tuesday last, appointed committee of seven to
name ticket for Baltimore county. tits learned
that this committee agreed on two or three of the
candidates and that it will meet in Baltimore
next week to complete the ticket, which is to be
made public through the county papers Saturday,
August 18th. 1t was expected that a committee
of those who contemplate putting an Independent
Democratic ticket in the field would be on hand
to confer with the temperance people, but no such
committee put in an appearance, although we'll
known Democrat of the 18th district was there
to urge the nomination of gentleman from his
district for one of the important places on the
ticket. It is said that this emissary met with
very poor success in his efforts and that no def
mite action was had on his proposition.

Old Deeds.
Upper Marlboro (Md.) Gazette

Upper Marlboro (Md) Gazette.
Captain McKibbin, who is the proprietor of
Marshall Hall, on the Potomac river, has had
made at the Clerks Office the copies of three deeds
for that property, which came originally from the
Tribe of Indians called the Piscataway or Plea
taqua as there written. The first of these deeds
is dated 1898, and is executed by the Emporer of
Piscataway. The two other deeds are dated re-
spectivey in 1712 and 1714 for the same property,
and are executed by Prince George, Mr.. William
son, and by Indians Pipscre and Robin. One Pc
cularity about these deeds is that they signed
by mark of letters instead of the cross, is now
used by those who cannot write. These deeds are
curious and quaint in the light Of the present day,
will be well worth preserving. To many it will
be surprise to know that we of this county onoe
boasted of an Emporer, and the fact that not a
trace of this singular people is now left, will only
add one more link to the chain of mystery that
surrounds this wonderful race. These deeds are
exactly copied, using the old English style in
which they are written, and Captain McKibbin
designs having them handsomely lithograpaed
and placed in the building at Marshall Hal.
These will be regarded as heir looms of this an
cient place, and will add to the interest that has
always centred around it.

8-A correspondent of the Baltimore American
suggests the following as a good ticket for the
Maryland Republicans to nominate at their ap.
preaching State convention: For Governor, Enoch
Pratt; for Comptroller, Thomas S. Hodson for
Attorney. General, Milton G. Urner. In this con-
nection it may not be out of place to state that Mr.
jackson, the Democratic nominee, and Mr.. Pratt
are very warm friends, and it is said that Mr..
Pratt once advanced a very large sum of money
to Mr.. jackson, with which to purchase tract of
timber land, simply taking his individual promise
to pay for the same. The investment proved a
most advantageous one and is said to have been
the beginning of Mr. Jackson's successful business
career.

re- The movement to put up an Independent
Democratic ticket in Baltimore county has not yet
taken definite shape and we can find no one who
is willing to father it. Several persons have been
solicited to allow the use Of their names on the
ticket, and it is said that some Of those on the
regular ticket will be "endorsed" if the ticket is
made up. One of the latter, when spoken to on
the subject, said that if his name was placed on
Independent ticket he would come out in card
in denunciation of the movement. The dissatis-
faction with the regular ticket, which showed itself
on the surface just after the convention, appears
to have pretty generally died out and in few
weeks very little will be heard of it.

@-A mosquito plague has swept the New
Jersey coast within the past week. rendering the
sorts almost uninhabitable. Summer guests were
driven away by the hundred and some of the re-
sorts were almost entirely deserted. The vista
tion is said to have been the most dreadful and
vicious ever known. The pests came in clouds
and it was impossible to keep them out of the
houses. Judge Kelly, who was compelled to leave
the Berkeley Arms on Monday, told a reporter
that two napkins used by waiter at the dinner
table to drive off the mosquitoes were taken away
as bloody as if used in q surgical operation.
